Busy week-end, ouff!

It was quite a productive week-end. Once I get going, I just don't know when to stop. I really must adjust my internal alarm...lol
I went to the UFO and helped our Quilting Angels group. I also brought home a kit to make a quilt top for them. Now, that is when I should have set my alarm to stop at intervals for resting but I get SOOO into the project that time just flies by. So a few arthritis pills later, it is now done. It measures 49.5" X 67.5".
There was no rush on it but the type A part of me wanted to do it and get it to the group asap. With our monthly meeting being on Tuesday, I have met my personal deadline and will hand it over to very good caring angels to complete it for the many people that need quilts for warmth and comfort in their lives. 

Using up scraps...

I've been a bit busy lately trying to get rid of my fabric stash without giving it away. Our quilting guild had a very nice block of the month called Crayon Box and this is what I used to make the blocks. Yep, you can say it... "Oh my, her crayons must have been broken"...hahaha 
It measures 48" X 72". It still has to be quilted so I will fish out some more of my fabrics for the backing and get it finished soon.  

Then I still had 4 1/2" squares left over, as I had cut way too many of them, I sort of got rotary cutter happy and just plowed through my scraps...lol...so I made a small lunch bag for when I go to the UFO's. 

I used waterproof military fabric for the inside. The sewn seams won't make it totally waterproof but it might be ok. I'm not planning on a liquid diet...never!!! The measurements are 11" high, 11" wide at the top and the bottom is 4 1/2 " X 8 ". About 7" high when the top is folded over. 

A fair size for a small lunch. 

I'm quite pleased with it. I must look to see what else I can do with the leftover squares. 

Well, that's about it for now. 

Live simply, love generously, care deeply, 

speak kindly and leave the rest to God!
